DIxMoNT.-Our correspondent writes, July
81: Mr.. E. NJ. Dolloff, who about six months
ago sold his store and stock of dry goods and
groceries, to Mr.. 4. r Day and removed to
Belfast, has since been dealing quite extern
sively in horses, having handled probably
about one hundred During the latter part
of June he, accompanied by Mr.. BENZ. Bus
sey OF this place, took trip to the Aroostook
county and the neighboring province, return
ing with nine horses, which he
sold in Bangor and Belfast Since
then, he has brought down and
sold in Bangor eight and is now in the
Aroostook collecting more. Mr.. Dolloff is a
young man of business talent and great energy
and during the nine years of his residing here
he not only was emnently successful as a
merchant, but won the esteem of all with
whom he had dealings, being prominent in
every religious and benevolent enterprise

has passed successfully the entrance exami-
nation and has been admitted to the fresh-
man class in Harvard college.
B. F. Fernald, ESQ.,, of VIM, who was
arrested the 18Th by U. s. Marshal johnson
and taken to Portland for examination, fur
nished bail for his appearance at court and
returned home Friday. The. charge against
him is ''for demanding fees FL excess of that
allowed by law for being instrumental in the
prosecution of the claim of Mrs. Lambert"
There was no fraud or blackmsil alleged
against him as understand it. Mr. Fernald
is not pension attorney and supposed he
had right to charge what he pleased, as he
has in his law practice. While am certain
that Mr.. Fernald charged no more than was
justly his due, he charged more than the pen
sion laws will allow HIN TO collect and it
places him in an unfortunate position. -
